"What surprises me is how little has changed since the beginning. My passion hasn't diminished one bit. The fire is still blazing inside of me." -Willie Nile
      Twenty-five years after his much-heralded debut, Willie Nile's astonishing re-emergence with "Streets of New York" is witness of Willie's youthful, unflagging energy. U2's Bono summed the album up in one joyous burst: "Great Album!" Willie Nile is now ready to push his career into high gear with the release of House of a Thousand Guitars. He's never sounded more committed to the themes he's tackled.
      Nile is a songwriters' songwriter. Writing in The New York Times, the great rock critic Robert Palmer called him "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years" earlier in Nile's career. No less a personage than Lucinda Williams has said of him, "Willie Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this world, I'd be opening up for him instead of him for me." Lou Reed hails Streets of New York as "a great album," while Graham Parker calls it "a real gem – stirring melodies, passionate vocals, intriguing lyrics…every track a winner." Says Ian Hunter, "Willie's from the big-hearted downtown alleyways of NYC (New York commitment). Well done!" Little Steven adds, "Willie Nile is so good I can't believe he's not from New Jersey!"
